Chapter 235: Reasons for Being Friendly to Nine Snakes… 

"In other words, can Rifan also use Golden Lion's Devil Fruit ability?"

"Sure enough, is this man using his ability to levitate the empress' ship?"

"What an amazing man! Besides being able to use Nami and Robin's abilities, can he also use Mikita's abilities?"

"What is the principle behind this?"

"Why is he able to do such a thing? What is this man's real Devil Fruit ability?"

Smoothie pursed her lips and kept muttering and thinking. However, no matter what she thinks, she still can't understand Rifan's specific ability. The only thing that is certain is that Rifan has a variety of abilities that ordinary people can't match, and they are powerful abilities. His strength, therefore, appears more formidable.

Smoothie took a deep breath, and her eyes looking at Rifan's back became increasingly intense.

"Rifan, no matter what, I will make you mine!"

Smoothie muttered to herself, her tone extremely firm.

What she didn't know was that Rifam intentionally let her see that he could use the Float Fruit. The purpose was to make Charlotte Linlin reconsider whether she could catch Rifan when she wanted to attack the Black Pearl Pirates.

For a pirate group like Smoothie's, Rifan didn't have much intention of concealing his ability. After all, they weren't like the Marines. Even knowing Rifan's multiple abilities, there weren't many who could do anything to Rifan and the Black Pearl Pirates.

In fact, Rifan's attitude towards the Marines was gradually changing, and he was becoming less inclined to conceal his abilities. He intended to demonstrate his strength openly after the Summit War to prevent the Marines and the World Government from casually targeting him. After all, he would likely get the recognition he deserved after the Summit War, and there would be no need to hide his abilities to divert attention from the Whitebeard Pirates to his Black Pearl Pirates.

After standing on the pirate ship and contemplating for a moment, Smoothie turned around and waved to Ada, who was not far away.

Seeing this, Ada naturally walked over with a smile.

"What's the matter, Miss Smoothie?"

"Ada, can you tell me more about Rifan?"

"I've told you all I know about Rifan's abilities."

"I'm not talking about his abilities; I want to know about Rifan's life, personality, and so on."

"Know his life and character?"

"That's right! I want to know how to capture that man's heart."

The corners of Ada's mouth curled up, and after thinking for a while, she said to Smoothie:

"Miss Smoothie, if you want to capture Rifan's heart and make him yours, it won't be easy. At least, I couldn't do it, and that's why I left the Black Pearl Pirates."

"As you can see, there are many exceptional women around Rifan, some of whom love him deeply. However, if you want to occupy a special place in Rifan's heart, it's quite simple."

"Miss Smoothie, with your appearance and figure, if you're sincere and proactive, he might develop feelings for you."

"If you want him to think highly of you, you may need to align with his preferences."

Hearing this, Smoothie nodded understandingly and inquired, "Ada, what do you mean by aligning with his preferences?"

The corners of Ada's mouth curled up slightly as she replied, "Dressing, grooming, and behavior. If you can be appealing in these aspects, he will be delighted. Moreover, if you're open enough, introducing beautiful women to him might also earn his favour. But I must admit, this can be challenging for women. At least, I couldn't do it."

Ada didn't object to helping Rifan find more high-quality women, just as she was assisting Rifan in winning over Smoothie.

"This seems like a rather difficult approach," Smoothie remarked, shaking her head. "Let's start by discussing clothing, grooming, and behaviour in detail, Ada. Before I leave, I want to leave a lasting impression on Rifan."

When Ada heard this, she naturally didn't refuse. After all, this was an opportunity for her to get closer to Smoothie and establish her position within the Big Mom Pirates.

"Miss Smoothie, to be specific, you need to..."

Ada spoke eloquently, and Smoothie nodded while asking questions from time to time, maintaining a serious expression.

"10,000 meters high below the Black Pearl Ship. 

"You're finally back, Rifan."

"I thought you would throw us above the 10,000-meter altitude after we left."

Rifan and Nojiko had just landed on the deck of the Nine Snakes, and the sharp-eyed Rindo immediately noticed them.

"How could it be? I still have a deal to discuss with your Captain."

"And I'm not a devil; how could I throw you all above the 10,000-meter altitude?"

Rifan smiled at Rindo, who had revealed herself, and then directed his attention to Leigh, who leaned against the wall of the pirate ship not far away.

After a moment of contemplation, he bypassed Rindo and approached Leigh.

"Hey, what are you planning to do, man?"

Rindo noticed Rifan's movement and followed closely.

"Rest assured, ma'am, Captain Rifan means no harm."

Nojiko walked to Rindo's side, raised her hand to gently caress Rindo's face, and offered a warm smile.

As one of the two women who knew Rifan best, alongside Robin, Nojiko could accurately gauge Rifan's preferences. She believed that Rindo in front of her was Rifan's type.

Regarding Leigh, who was lying on the ground, Nojiko only considered her as one of Rifan's interests, unaware of her being a reincarnator same as Rifan. 

"Nojiko is right. The battle between our Black Pearl Pirates and your Nine Snake Pirates is over. As for this lady... how should I put it, she seems oddly familiar and close to me."

"Seeing her lying on the deck like this, I can't help but feel sympathy. So, I plan to wake her up."

While speaking, Rifan retrieved a soothing ointment from the medical bag he carried with him.

—•—|Rifan Live Broadcast Chat Room|—•—

[Brother Rifan finally remembered Leigh, I thought Leigh's live broadcast room would definitely go black for a while. ]

[Speaking of which Brother Rifan helped Ada before, will he also help Leigh this time, so that Leigh's ranking in the reincarnation will rise rapidly? ]

[This is not necessarily true, after all, Ada has drawn up a contract with Rifa. ]

[Having said that, I still hope that Rifan can take care of Leigh. ]

[I think we can't force Brother Rifan like this. There are so many reincarnations in Panda, and it's impossible for him to take care of every one of them. ]

[Indeed! However, Rifan has the G virus strengthening potion, Leigh's system must be able to withstand this thing, maybe she can rely on the G virus strengthening potion to become stronger!]

[Yes! And even though Leigh didn't make a contract with Rifan, we can't force her to make a contract with Rifan! However, Rifan is now planning to develop the Nine Snake Pirates into a subordinate pirate group. Once successful, Leigh will be equivalent to Rifan's crew and subordinates. At that time, the two may be able to get closer. ]

[Green Pheasant Audience: Hmph, you Panda people think too well, the empress is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she has a proud personality, how could she be willing to be Rifan's subordinate?]

[Goat Audience: Rifan has created miracles many times, so I think Rifan has a way to get Hancock into his bag. ]

[Kangaroo Audience: Indeed! Although I am very unwilling, but I also feel the same way! Isn't there a curse on that Marigold, maybe Rifan can gain the favour of Kuja Pirates by helping him remove the curse. ]

[Eagle Audience: Can Rifan remove the curse? How is this possible... Wait, the Munch-Munch Fruit?!]

[Did you just think about it, haha! Although I can't see the specific situation in Hancock's room, Brother Rifan returned to the Black Pearl to help Chopper awaken his devil fruit, perhaps because he needed to use the awakened Munch-Munch Fruit to remove Marigold's curse!]

[Chollima Audience: What an enviable man! Damn, what is going on in Hancock's room, why can't we follow Rifan's perspective to watch it. ]

[Green Pheasant Audience: If he wants to get rid of the curse, Marigold should take off her clothes. The black screen is also natural... Wait, Hancock and Sandersonia also have curses on them. Could it be that Rifan has a chance to see it? To Hancock's body?!]

[Camel Audience: Damn! I'm envious!]

"Familiar?"

Rindou waved to the other pirates of the Nine Snake Pirates who were about to come this way, signaling to hand over this place to her, and then walked to Rifan.

Seeing how Rifan applied the ointment to Leigh's temples, and helped her rub and massage her temples and the acupuncture points near the temples with both hands, she asked, 

"Rifan, you and Leigh know each other?"

"Why do you ask this, lady? The members of the Nine Snake Pirates should all be locals from Amazon Lily."

"Just call me Rindo! Although it is true that most of the fighters of the Nine Snake Pirates are from the Amazon Lily, we met Leigh during our attack, and she became our partner afterwards,"

"So that's what happened..."

Rifan raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

He originally thought that Leigh had descended directly in Amazon Lily as a native of Amazon Lily.

After all, even if it is a woman, it is difficult for outsiders to become a member of the Nine Snake Pirates.

Now it seems that Leigh is not a simple character.

Even as an outsider, she used her method to successfully join the Kuja Pirates.

"That's why I asked you if you knew her.

As Rindo was talking, her gaze suddenly turned to Leigh.

Leigh slowly opened her eyes under Rifan's massage.

After seeing Rifan in front of her, Leigh could not help but flash a light in her eyes.

"Yo, you're awake."

Seeing that Nojiko was about to touch Leigh's face with her right hand, Rifan patted her on the shoulder and shook her head, preventing her from copying Leigh's body data.

Afterwards, he said to Leigh with a smile on his face.

Leigh, hearing it got up, grabbed Rifan's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile on her face.

"Rifan, we finally met!"

"I didn't expect that we would go to sea at about the same time, and you would grow up strong so fast!"
